"Stitch Bird" is a chromolithograph from the *Song Birds of the World* series (N23) created for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes in 1890. This small, colorful print depicts a stitch bird perched on a branch with a detailed background of foliage. The bird's vibrant plumage is rendered in a realistic style, highlighting its distinct black, yellow, and brown patterns. The piece is a testament to the popularity of birdwatching during the late 19th century and the artistic quality of the chromolithographic process.
